Protein, Part Deux

PROTEIN PART DEUX

Just in case yesterday's 1 lb t-bone steak wasn't enough, I'd thought I'd have another steak. Today, 1 pound rib-eye steak with bone in with sauteed mushrooms and garlic.

Protein

PROTEIN

I've been very tired recently from training and after speaking to my trainer; she thinks its from a lack of protein.

Well, PROTEIN this!

Je Veux Te Voir

JE VEUX TE VOIR

This song was free on iTunes a while back and it played on my iPhone while I was driving.

I have no idea what she is saying, but I love this song.

Arrgghh! I wish I understood French!

Au revoir!

Beyond Exhausted

BEYOND EXHAUSTED

I am just tired and sore and tired and sore and tired and sore.

Yesterday, our training group broke into two: ones that are running first and the other cycling first. I volunteered to run 1st since I like to run.

I am doing the 2009 Honolulu Triathlon Sprint (which is a shorter version of the full triathlon), with that said, everyone agreed since I just did the Honolulu Marathon that I should run with the group running the longer distance (the running group was further broken down into 2 groups - one training for the full triathlon and the other training for the Sprint Tri).

My running group took off quite quickly, I stayed behind (about 20 ft. behind), as I liked to run at my own pace (and start off slowly). 6.5 miles later (felt like 13.1 - but that's just me)... Time for cycling...

Cycling was grooling. I took all of my energy to keep up. Granted we were on trainers and basically like spinning class, but I didn't want to spin way slower than others.

Around 2000 training was completed, I was SOOOO happy I stopped by L&L and got a BBQ Chicken Musubi, which I inhaled before leaving the parking lot.

As soon as I got home, Epsom salt bath was started, and I started rolling my calves on the foam circle thing that I have and fortunately, I woke up this morning, just tired, not as sore as I expected to be...

Going to run my bike again tonight... arrgghh!

Learning to ride...

LEARNING TO RIDE

Yesterday I woke up with anxiety. I didn't know how to ride a bike and here I am training with a Team Jet Hawaii for the 2009 Honolulu Triathlon.

An hour after the training started, I was just in shock. I couldn't believe it. Here I am going stopping/going, fast, switching gears, riding against/with 30 MPH winds. Beat part is... No blood! (I never fell!)

Granted its in a huge parking lot... but considering I've been trying to learn for a while, I can't believe what some 1 on 1 training can do. That's exactly what I had, 1 on 1 time with a trainer, Mike (pic below). Yup, he's the man...

Mahalo Mike!

This is just the beginning. GO TEAM!
